How to install LaTeX?
LaTeX is not a program by itself, it is a language. Using LaTeX requires a bunch of tools. TeX Distributions help the user in installing all the necessary tools, in that it is a single step installation process that provides (almost) everything.
To use LaTeX, you'll need to install a TeX distribution (MikTeX for Windows OS, MacTeX for Mac OS and TeXLive for Linux), a good text editor to write LaTeX source documents (this is probably where you will spend most of your time) and a PDF viewer.
If you are using:
- Windows:
- Download MikTeX from http://miktex.org/download
